Pieces of Sword became the sky, and those of Shield became the earth.
The flashes from their battle became the stars.

You have to remember that however literal Luc talks about it, the story is that of a legend and is a metaphor for the creation of the world and True Runes.

Before there was anything, there was darkness. As time progressed, conflict arose at the most basic primodial levels. Pure Choas and pure Order. So while people may talk about Sword and Shield, they are just representations about the continuous conflict between Order and Chaos.

The True Runes would most likely be a physical manifestation of Chaos and Order. 13 of them being Order and 13 of them being Chaos; the anomoly being The Rune of Begining which shares both traits of Chaos and Order as the Sword and Shield parts. I have no real basis for the origins of True Runes as the story of the beginging is only legend.

If it was the main true rune, then he'd have only half of it.

Naw, Riou and Jowy keep their respective runes and go off to explore the world.

And both halves would leave them when they wither away... as they are not granted with agelessness.

I wouldn't say it's the main rune. All runes are said to be equal in strength. The only difference is, and it's only assumption really, but that the Rune of Beginging shares both qualities of Chaos and Order, which is why it is said to be the rune that governs (?) war.

That's only if you did the bad ending. If you did the good ending then Riou and Jowy keep their own runes and travel together with Nanami.

There is a bad ending where Riou gets both runes, a good ending where they both keep their runes, and a good ending where Riou gets both runes.
